Two lesbian women with a 28-year age difference between them have revealed that they're often mistaken for a mom and her daughter by strangers.
The couple first felt the romantic sparks flying between them back on Valentine's day, 2016, after they kissed at an open mic night. Since then, 52-year-old documentary maker Paelo Marino and 24-year-old Sadie Love have been "soulmates", who want people to respect their relationship despite their age gap.

Paelo, originally from Italy, had been married for 20 years to a man before she met Sadie and fell deeply in love with the young Turkish woman.
She first met Sadie through work back in 2015, but one year and a tender kiss later, she came out of the closet at the age of 45, and finally divorced her husband to spend her life with Sadie.
The women have met with some difficulties in pursuing a relationship together, particularly when Sadie moved in with Paelo in her home in Toronto - something which caused tension between her and Paelo's daughter. However, things have now settled down, and the two of them now happily vlog about their lives together on their shared YouTube channel.
Watch this video about how a woman saving a man from a heart attack led to a touching love story:
Discussing their relationship in a recent interview, Paelo stated: "I’ve had crushes on women ever since I was little but, growing up, I didn’t really understand what it meant to be a lesbian and I didn’t have anyone to speak to about my feelings. I suppose I just did what was thought of as normal and I got married and had a baby."
She continued: "We were at an open mic night where Sadie was singing. She came off the stage and just ran up and kissed me. I was just like, ‘What is going on here?’ But then it dawned on me, ‘It’s Valentine’s Day, and I don’t want to be anywhere else in the world other than here with Sadie.’ I couldn’t deny my feelings anymore."
She added: "Sometimes I struggle with my own doubts – I feel ashamed of myself because that’s the way society has made me feel. I’m self-conscious about holding Sadie’s hand or kissing her in public, as I hate the idea of people judging me. I believe opening up to a younger partner is an issue for a lot of older women ... some people say our relationship is a bit freaky, and it is – but at the same time it’s really not."
Meanwhile, Sadie stated: "I think my family still hopes I’ll end up with someone younger – but having said that, I know they’re all so accepting of our relationship. But I’m more suited to an older woman, as I’d rather stay at home and knit than go clubbing. I just get on with older women better."
She added: "I’m head over heels in love with Paelo, I want us to enjoy being in a relationship and not to care about the age difference, but I know Paelo still worries about what people think."
The couple are due to celebrate their fourth anniversary in February 2020.
They say that love knows no boundaries - but there are always exceptions to the rule. All kinds of things can get in the way of a relationship, from serious issues such as opposing political beliefs or differing life goals, to more trivial stuff such as alternative music tastes or a disagreement over which comic universe is better (side note: it's definitely Marvel).
For some people, though, the problem with the relationship comes not from those who are actually involved in it, but from everybody else.
Amanda Harper and Jay Horsky, a Californian couple who have been together for three years, have received a great deal of online abuse from people - all because of their somewhat unconventional age gap.
The couple, who first met on the online dating site Plenty of Fish, share a 33-year age difference - meaning that 58-year old Horsky is often mistaken for his 25-year-old girlfriend's father. Perhaps understandably, some people have taken issue with this, and Harper says they have received a lot of negative criticism because of the nature of their relationship.
According to her, Harper has been labelled "disgusting", "a horrible person" and "a gold digger", and that the pair frequently receive dirty looks from complete strangers.
"I don’t understand why I get called nasty things for being in a happy and healthy relationship, it just blows my mind," she said.
Speaking about how strangers usually react to the revelation that she and Horsky are part of a romantic - not a familial - relationship, Harper explained:
"Normally people who work up the courage to ask, 'Is he your dad?' which is a conversation starter I then proudly say 'he’s my boyfriend'"."Even in pictures of us, you can often see people’s shocked or disapproving faces in the background, but we don’t let it get to us and still remain happy. You get the evil eyes and daggered looks, but I would say we have more positive feedback than anything."
But how do they cope with the constant criticism?
"We laugh about it a lot, we never want to associate any negativity towards age gap relationships and want to educate people," she said. "The worst part for me is that people can’t see that we are good for each other and very happy."
And, in fairness, the pair are undeniably well-suited to one another. They immediately clicked when it transpired that Horsky had a passion for making Halloween props, and now the couple own a haunted house business together.
Of course, it helped that Harper already had a self-confessed attraction for older men. When asked about what drew her to her much-older partner, the 25-year-old said:
"For me, men under 40 are just too young, when my friends point out someone young and attractive I have to ask them what shirt they are wearing because I can’t see it. I only register men with grey hair, in the same way that certain people only like redheads or blondes, I love greying hair."
Ultimately, all that matters is that both people are consenting adults, and that being together makes them happy. They seem to be doing a better job of their relationship than most couples I know who are much closer in age - so all the best to them, I guess.
Every relationship dynamic is different. It doesn't matter whether you're a straight, gay, married, cohabiting, have kids, never want kids, love each other to a sickening degree, or barely tolerate one another - these things alone do not entirely determine the connection you have with another person. And, because of that, it's good to remind ourselves that we shouldn't judge someone else's relationship.
When a story like this comes around, though, some of us can't help but get a little judgy.
Julia Zelg, who is 24, has recently spoken out about her relationship with her partner Eileen De Freest, who is 37 years her senior.

The pair have received a lot of questions about their relationship, which began when they met on Tinder last year, and they totally understand why people are curious - but they want to put some things to rest. First of all, they don't find their relationship weird, and they certainly don't want to mislead anyone about their ages. Really, there's only one thing they find unsettling about their age gap.
"The major difference between ours and most other relationships is the fact that we must accept the strong likelihood that I will outlive Eileen," Julia, a YouTuber, told The Metro. "We must be prepared for a 'built-in' ending to our relationship that wouldn’t necessarily be there for a non-age gap couple. We know and accept that reality."
With that in mind, the couple have decided to make the most of the time they have, and have plans to get married in the coming year.
"We came together over love and not an obsession with or fetishisation of age. The difference in our ages has almost no impact on our relationship," the 24-year-old explained.
"Although we make no judgment about anyone else, we don’t focus on our age difference but rather our exquisite similarities. We have the good fortune to have an extraordinary bond and attraction, the likes of which I’ve never experienced before. Although neither of us is religious, we both feel blessed to have found one another.
"We’re an ordinary couple in love. We face the same struggles as everyone else. We’re two women in a relationship with a very large age difference, we face struggles unique to our uncommon dynamic."

The comments left on Julia's video were a mixed bag, with some people offering their full support to the fiancés, and others warning the younger woman that the relationship was a bad idea.
"If you are both of legal age, it's consensual, and not abusive no one should care," said one commenter.
"Julia will regret this relationship when in 10 years Eileen is 71 and all kinds of old age health issues start arising, she could get dementia or anything and Julia is left to be her caretaker and do absolutely everything for her until she dies," countered another.
Some, however, tried their best to offer balance, with one person writing: "GUYS PLEASE. Would I stay with an older person? No. Does this mean that they're doing something wrong? Absolutely no! Just because you wouldn't put yourself in such a relationship doesn't mean anyone shouldn't do that. They're adults, okay?"
Regardless of what others might think, Julia and Eileen are assured that their relationship is right for them, and that they are happy together. Of course, they have no idea what the future holds for them - but neither do any other couple. Let's just hope this works out well for both of them.
A 30-year-old woman has claimed she has fallen in love with her 63-year-old boyfriend after she had initially planned to milk him for all his money.
Finding love can be a minefield at the best of times, particularly as many people turn to dating apps rather than real-life interactions.
Meeting the perfect partner that you want to spend your life with - and ensuring they have the best intentions when entering into the relationship - isn't always easy.
However, Carrie, 30, claims she fell for Randy, 63, after initially planning to "milk him dry and peace out" once he stopped spending his money on her.
Carrie first met Randy three years ago after putting up the age limit to the maximum on her Tinder account and swiping right on his profile.
The then-27-year-old was attracted to the fact he appeared to be wealthy as he was on vacation a lot, and had initially believed their relationship would be more of a "business transaction" than real love.
Carrie and Randy shared their story on Love Don't Judge, as she explained: "Randy and I met on Tinder in 2019. I just swiped up to the age, I just made it go the whole way up."
She admitted: "My first intentions when I met Randy was to basically milk him dry. I wanted to get from him what I could and peace out."
Randy, who has worked in sales for 30 years, revealed that Carrie would send him a message every now and then asking him to "help her out" with money.
After a while of him giving her cash, she revealed that she disappeared in order to work on herself and get a proper job to bring in some income.
He reached back out to check if she was okay after not having heard from her, and she told him that she had been busy with her job and was having to walk to and from her place of employment as she couldn't afford a car.
Randy told her he would buy her a car to allow her to get back and forth from her "graveyard shifts" safely after finding out she was having to walk home in the dark, and proceeded to gift her a BMW.
The couple, who have a 33-year age gap, finally decided to meet in person after a year of talking, with Carrie agreeing to it as her life was "getting better" since Randy had been helping her.
She added: "I felt sorry that I was kind of neglecting him and his feelings when he was doing so much for me."
Carrie revealed that she'd never dated an older man before and didn't know if he was "safe", to which Randy joked that she'd always thought he was going to "kill her".
Describing the moment she fell in love with Randy, Carrie said: "I realized that I had feelings for Randy when he sat me down one day and said: 'Make a list of all your problems and we'll check them off one by one. And probably a week later he said to me: 'If you give me a year, I'll change your life.'"

Carrie admitted: "People typically assume that I'm a golddigger or I have daddy issues. People stare, sometimes I catch them pointing. I've seen them make fun of us, or me especially."
Randy doesn't think Carrie is using him for his money any more, as he claims to have "seen the change in the way she treats [him]" compared to how she was in the beginning.
Carrie added that the relationship is not just about Randy's money anymore, explaining: "When you fall in love with somebody, you appreciate them for what they are and not what they have."
She shared that despite some people assuming Randy is her dad when they are out on dates together, she doesn't always bother to correct them so as not to embarrass the other person.
Since getting together with Randy, Carrie is now a "stay-at-home girlfriend" and has started an OnlyFans account to make her own money.
When you're a teenager, the idea of dating out of your age range can seem like a pretty bizarre idea, but for some people, it's something that they wholeheartedly desire. While the lust and fetishisation of older people, particularly women, is nothing new - actually dating them is a whole different ballgame.
One quick search for the nation's favourite type of pornography will show that we're all obsessed with 'Milfs'. But, for one girl, she preferred an older man and it led to some serious problems with her family.
Tereza Hatlas, 20, met her beau George Sekanina, 51, on a dating website when she was 18-years-old. The couple began talking to each other and five months down the line, they decided to make a go of it.
"I was looking for an older man; 50 years or older and I caught him like a fish - a golden one of course. For five months we only chatted - two messages each, on a daily basis," says Tereza.
"We shared our favourite songs, pictures, life experiences and so on. And in February we met in person."It went well so we started seeing each other more and more; we could talk through the day and night. It was wonderful."His family were so kind to me from the first time they met me. Parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, all of them. They all support us, enjoy our company, and love us."But my family, sadly, threw me out of my home and I had to move to my bae's home. It was quick, we've officially been together for as long as we've lived together, which is two years."I had to change my home, my school, friends, family and everything was new, brought a lot of issues but it's behind us now."They didn't agree with my choice, so I had to go. I was mentally down, it was a really dark year-and-a-half. I was struggling with myself the whole time; I had depression and was not able to wake up and go to school."
Despite the opposition that the couple faced, Tereza feels like she made the right decision, with her labelling George as her 'missing piece.'
"I was attracted to his charm of personality, square chin, rough serene voice, deep, loving and smart eyes and of course his silver hair," she said. "When I was getting to know him, I was attracted to him more and more. He is wise, talented, and a young-minded man.
"He must have been attracted to me by my cute and mysterious weirdness and open-mindedness and my height for sure; I'm very small and he finds it sweet."I am an animal-loving, little-bit-lazy, chocolate-loving bookworm that met an active, meat-loving fitness coach that is hard on himself and others as well. Seems like black and white - and it truly is."I always adored older men, so this age gap doesn't bother me. I am happy about it. My boyfriend is kind of a young soul, so I really can't imagine him with someone older. There are days I feel like the older one."A year and a half into the relationship, my family and I somehow found our way back to each other. However, they still don't respect my man and they don't want to meet him. At least they are able to talk about my relationship."It makes me truly sad, as I found in him a missing piece of myself. Maybe time will heal everything."
Tereza also has one last gem of wisdom for anyone who thinks about judging her, or anyone else, for that matter: "I never cared about what other people think. "
That's what I recommend to anybody who criticises any relationship - mind your own business. Gay, lesbian, older, younger, it's all about happiness and love."
While the age gap is undoubtedly fairly shocking, if the couple are happy, who are to judge them?
Celebrities. They're just like us, only they're not. They live more glamorous lives than us mere mortals. However, they're just like us in that they too go looking for love. But many celebrities seem to have quite the age gap romances. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars can sometimes surprise us with romances that vary in age. It's a bit icky to think that some of these celebrities were already grown adults when their partners were born. So, let's explore some of the most famous age gap romances!
[post_page_title]Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, 10 years[/post_page_title]
Adam was a bit of a playboy before he settled down. But then, in June 2012, he met his future wife Behati. At the time Levine was 34, while Prinsloo was 24. Probably one of the shorter age gaps, this romance didn't begin without its fair share of drama. Levine got with Prinsloo after ending a relationship with Prinsloo’s close friend and fellow VS model, Anne Vyalitsyna. The couple became engaged in 2013 and later married in Cabos, Mexico in 2014.
